All-on-4 Dental Implants

Understanding All-on-4 Dental Implants

The term “All-on-4” might sound technical. However, even though it’s cutting edge, the process is fairly straightforward. All-on-4  refers to securing a full arch of teeth using just four dental implants (and sometimes up to 6). If you’re considering replacing your teeth in the East Ridge, TN or Chattanooga, TN area, All-on-4 offers unparalleled stability, enhancing your freedom and confidence. This technique keeps the teeth in place, allowing the prosthetic to be smaller, fitting snugly on the ridge of your gums and keeping the palate free. This is especially helpful for people who have a sensitive gag reflex.

This smaller prosthetic enhances comfort as a solution for loose-fitting dentures that can “flop around” in your mouth. They function just like your own teeth!

All-on-4 allows you to enjoy your favorite foods without sacrificing functionality. These bridges are an excellent alternative to full dentures or implant-retained dentures.

Enhanced Stability with All-on-4 Dental Implants

Pairing your dentures with dental implants significantly enhances their stability, eliminating concerns about shifting or falling out while you talk, laugh, or eat. Additionally, dental implants offer oral health benefits that regular dentures can’t, such as promoting healthy bone growth in your jaw.

Advanced Implant Procedures at Our State-of-the-Art Facility

With All-on-4 dental implants, we can restore your full smile using just four to six implants. This method is a significant improvement over traditional dental implants, which are anchored by an implant for each tooth. If you’ve lost many (or all) of your teeth, these implants provide a complete smile restoration solution.

How Does All-on-4 Work?

All-on-4 implants can give you a bright, complete smile with fewer dental appointments and reduced costs compared to a full set of single implants.

However, these permanent tooth replacement options are not removable like some other solutions. Before the procedure, your dentist will discuss your needs and the process of creating your new teeth to ensure you are fully satisfied with your new smile. If any teeth need to be removed, this can be done before your implant procedure. Your dentist will place the implants and attach your dentures once the implants have integrated.

Why Choose All-on-4

Here are some reasons to choose All-on-4 dental implants:

1. They don’t come out like loose-fitting dentures (especially lower dentures).
2. They’re made of much stronger material than dentures – zirconia rather than plastic.
3. Implants provide excellent support and stability by anchoring to your jawbone.
4. They don’t have to cover the palate like dentures.
5. You don’t need to remove them for cleaning, eating, or drinking. They can be treated like natural teeth.
6. They support and stimulate your jawbone, preventing deterioration and changes in your facial shape. Other tooth replacement options can’t help with this.

Cutting Edge & Efficient Solutions

You’ll receive a full arch of teeth that relies on just 4-6 implants for support. This cutting edge procedure is less time-intensive and provides you with new teeth without requiring the installation of a full mouthful of implants. In addition, your implant arch will be made from zirconia and become the permanent, attractive solution you’re looking for.
